Selecting the SIMOCODE pro device configuration in SIMOCODE ES V12

SIMOCODE ES is the central software for configuration, startup, operation and diagnostics of SIMOCODE pro.

Version 12, which is based on the central engineering framework Totally Integrated Automation Portal (TIA Portal), is available in addition to SIMOCODE ES Version 2007.

SIMOCODE ES V12 is integrated seamlessly when further TIA Portal-based software exists such as STEP 7 or WinCC, thus enabling users to achieve a consistent, efficient and intuitive solution for all automation tasks. Users who use SIMOCODE ES V12 as stand-alone software also profit from these advantages, though.

Three program versions

The user can choose between three different versions of SIMOCODE ES: SIMOCODE ES Basic, SIMOCODE ES Standard and SIMOCODE ES Premium. While SIMOCODE ES Basic is a powerful tool for startup or maintenance personnel, SIMOCODE ES Standard and Premium are the perfect tools for engineers or configuration engineers on account of their larger scope of functions and integrated graphics editor. Unlike the Standard version, SIMOCODE ES Premium also permits parameterization and diagnostics through PROFIBUS. Indication of all operating, service and diagnostics data supplies important information about the current state of the motor and plant at all times – everywhere on the PROFIBUS.

Working with libraries

Users can create copy templates for the SIMOCODE pro device configuration themselves and can manage them in global or project libraries. Thus, individual modules and diagrams and also complete device configurations can be saved as reusable elements for frequently occurring tasks.

Integrated graphics editor

Parameterize easily and ergonomically with the CFC-based graphics editor of SIMOCODE ES V12

The graphics editor is part of SIMOCODE ES Standard and SIMOCODE ES Premium. It is based on the Continuous Function Chart (CFC) and adds a powerful tool to the parameterizing interface that enables easy parameterization of devices by Drag&Drop. Extremely compact documentation of all configured parameters is possible, as is the graphic online presentation of the configured device functions including all signal states during operation.

Online functions for startup and diagnosis

Startup functions of SIMOCODE ES V12

To this end, SIMOCODE ES provides powerful functions for startup and diagnosis of motor feeders. Besides a detailed display of status information and the causes of faults, all available measurement and statistics data can be retrieved online. Access to the fault and event memory and also to analog values recorded in the device, e.g. current and voltage, is also possible.

More functions

SIMOCODE ES V12 also offers numerous advantages of the TIA Portal that can be used in an integrated working environment.

• Seamless integration when using other TIA Portal-based software such as STEP 7 or WinCC
  Thus, for example, the configuration for devices and networks for all components used is created in a standardized environment.
• Working with libraries
  Users can create copy templates for device configuration and can manage them in global libraries. In this way, frequently used functions can be managed in a clearly structured fashion.

Types of delivery and license

SIMOCODE ES V12 is available as follows:

• Floating license – the license for any one user at any one time
  • Authorizes any one user
  • Independent of the number of installations (unlike the single license which is allowed to be installed once only)
  • Only the actual use of the program has to be licensed
  • Trial license (free use of all program functions for 21 days for test and evaluation purposes, included on every product DVD, available in the download file of the SIRIUS ES program in the Service&Support portal).
• Combo License – license for parallel use
  • Licensed parallel use of the TIA Portal version and SIRIUS ES Version 2007
  • All other features same as Floating License

The following delivery versions are available for SIMOCODE ES V12:

• Upgrade
  Upgrade of an old version to a new, functionally extended version, e.g. upgrade from SIMOCODE ES 2007 to SIMOCODE ES V12, which includes a Combo License for parallel use of SIMOCODE ES 2007 and SIMOCODE ES V12
• PowerPack
  Special pack for switching within the same software version to a more powerful version with more functionality, e.g. PowerPack SIMOCODE ES V12 Premium for switching from Standard to Premium
• Software Update Service
  To keep you up to date at all times we offer a special service which supplies you automatically with all service packs and upgrades within SIMOCODE ES 2007 or SIMOCODE ES V12 (TIA Portal).
• License Download
  User-friendly license key download from our Mall (for selected countries) as an easy and quick way for you to receive additional licenses for your software. Licenses of SIMOCODE ES V12 can also be used for SIMOCODE ES V12.
